I have 3 pictures on my phone from my trip yesterday to Ikea where I was fascinated by the two shot overmolding on a plastic step stool. There were some cool runners on the inside that gave a window into the action of the tool.
Love this stuff!!

> Overmolding is a multi-shot injection molding process that produces a single product from two or more different thermoplastics
> Overmolding enables the unification of the substrate material with the overmold material in a fraction of the time that it takes to join two or more parts together in a secondary operation on an assembly line
